Football star Chad Johnson, a.k.a Ochocinco, was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly head-butted his wife of less than two months.

The reality show couple have documented their romance and wedding on their VH1 show “Ev and Ocho.”

TMZ says that Evelyn Lozada became so scared of her husband's rage during a heated argument Saturday night that she ran to her neighbor's house "to get away from Johnson."

The two allegedly began arguing after Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms in his vehicle and she confronted him about it. Johnson allegedly began cursing and yelling at her.

The entertainment site says that in the report, the officer noted that Lozada had a three-inch gash on her forehead. Lozada claims Johnson head-butted her, but Johnson claims it’s the other way around – she allegedly head-butted him.

Johnson was arrested Saturday evening and released early Sunday morning on a $2,500 bond. Hours after his release, the Miami Dolphins dropped him from the team.

The reality star and football player got hitched in Miami last month and tied the knot in front of friends, family members and, as usual, reality show cameras that documented their every move for their VH1 show.

Lozada and Johnson had been engaged since 2010. The wedding ceremony has not even aired -- it's scheduled to go on the air on VH1 in September.

Johnson even found time to live tweet his wedding, telling his fans via the social media site that he was excited and nervous.

“Live tweeting from my wedding... should be a first I'm assuming, music is playing, can't see my guest right now but they're here... #nervous,” Johnson posted on his Twitter account on Wednesday.

“I don't recall sending the butterflies in my stomach an invite,” he continued. “Why am I shaking like I'm in Alaska[?],” he wrote.

He then posted a photo of him and Lozada showing off their wedding rings.
